Keeping Up With Fantasy Football News

Between
sports channels, local news, newspapers and the Internet, there's a
load of information available 24 hours a day on the NFL. But what
people playing fantasy football want to know about is fantasy football news.

There might a front-page story on how a player
negotiated a new contract or is getting along with a new coaching. Hey,
that's nice, but what's the fantasy football news value of this information? That's what people are thinking.

Fortunately, you don't have to scan the news wires and stay up late for the news to get the latest fantasy football news. Fantasy Football Starters.com will give you updates on the latest happenings and announcements that
might affect your team. If you're not around your computer, don't worry
- Fantasy Football Starters can now send wireless alerts to your cell phone or pager.

For example, if your team is playing a team that
struggles against the run, but is great against the pass, a coach's
comment might clue you in on some important fantasy football news.
If the coach indicates that he's going to try and exploit the teams'
run defense, then that means it could be a good day for your running
back.

There are also instances of key fantasy football news that might not sound like important fantasy football information right
away. If a team's leading pass rusher goes down, that might be bad news
for someone's defense, but it's good news for your quarterback.
Conversely, if a starting left tackle goes down with injury, that could
be bad fantasy football news for your quarterback AND running back. Also, take notice of things like
coaches announcing certain players that may get more playing time. This
is especially important for running backs. When Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban announced that Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown would share running duties, that was key fantasy football news that affected how owners draft their teams.

Of course, the biggest role for fantasy football news is to update injured or suspended players. Players that are definitely
out with an injury or suspension are one thing, but a player who is
day-to-day can be a fantasy football owner's biggest headache. Many
times, a player's status won't be known until game day or even hours
before kickoff. All the while, a fantasy football player might be
holding a roster spot for that person. The worst thing that can happen
is holding a roster spot for someone you think might be playing and
then finding out that he didn't play. This means that you get zero
points from a running back, receiver or quarterback. Those three
positions are your biggest point getters and you can't afford a big,
fat zero! In a close league, it's likely the difference between a win
and a loss.

You need to get updated fantasy
football news to make the right decisions. Many times, a player will
be cleared or held back on the day of the game. If you setup your lineups
before game day, it's possible to miss that piece of fantasy football
news and have your guy get no points. With wireless
alerts and access to your lineups from your cell phone, using Fantasy
Football Starters products in a no-brainer - you'll get the important
alerts you need in time to adjust your rosters before game-time.
